tldr-rs

An implementation of tldr in Rust.

High level project goals:

• Download and cache pages
• Don't require a network connection for anything besides updating the cache
• Command line interface similar or equivalent to the NodeJS client
• Be fast

Usage:

tldr [options] <command>
tldr [options]

Options:

    -h --help           Show this screen
    -v --version        Show version information
    -l --list           List all commands in the cache
    -f --render <file>  Render a specific markdown file
    -o --os <type>      Override the operating system [linux, osx, sunos]
    -u --update         Update the local cache
    -c --clear-cache    Clear the local cache

Examples:

    $ tldr tar
    $ tldr --list

To control the cache:

    $ tldr --update
    $ tldr --clear-cache

To render a local file (for testing):

    $ tldr --render /path/to/file.md

Installing

Build and install the tool from source (see section "Building" in this README).

If you're an Arch Linux user, you can also install the package from the AUR:

$ yaourt -S tldr-rs-git

Building

tldr-rs requires at least Rust 1.5.

Debug build with logging enabled:

$ cargo build --features logging

Release build without logging:

$ cargo build --release

To enable the log output, set the RUST_LOG env variable:

$ export RUST_LOG=tldr=debug
